This Morning favourite Ben Shephard, who typically keeps his personal life away from the cameras, opened up in a rare moment about his own "struggles" after being moved by a viewer's heartfelt message.

On the Wednesday's episode (February 5), Ben, aged 50, sat down with co-host Cat Deeley, 48, and a specialist to examine new scientific findings from University College London (UCL) stating that "people are happier in the morning".The study highlighted the contrast between morning cheer and evening gloom.

Prior to the discussion on air, Ben and his fellow ITV presenter invited viewers to share what was impacting their ability to feel joy.

One person contacted the team to express she'd felt "loneliness" after her children had left the nest which struck a chord with Ben.
